They only banned the selling of cigarettes in pharmacies in Alberta on January 1st of this year.

I still don't understand why. The only thing it helps is that it makes pharmacies appear less hypocritical :lol:

:lol: you must have had the original flavour, which are quite nasty but cherry or lemon are pretty good! I think they are like Buckley's cough syrop, the ones that taste like ####### are the ones that work the best!

Tastes Bad, Works Good.

Buckleys is the WORST tasting medicine I've ever had in my life....but damn it worked!

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

At 1 time I could find Buckleys here, but couldn't for the longest time, so ended up ordering buckelys online from a Vancouver company! Stocked up!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Gee if I knew they were going to discontinue selling it I would have loaded up.

I have a funny story about the today sponge.... but I don't think is the place. :lol:

Lately its seems like bad news after bad news after bad news phone calls from back home from various sources:

"So and so got run over by a dump truck and died, Chip has cancer in his left eye, the government is reorganizing and I might be out of a job, they just laid-off 300 people at Ledcor, my retirement account has tanked and I'm going to be poor for my retirement, your dad and brother are still not talking, my poor brother is really hating prison, I got into a car accident yesterday, I hate my job, your grandmother isn't doing too well ya know, Jenner doesn't have long to live, those shoes I bought on vacation hurt my feet . . . . . . . so Cat how are things with you?"

Just one bit of good news. That would be nice.
